It's always 'Anything Goes' at Lacy Sunshine as long as you hand-color your image! (BTW, did I mention I Love her stamps!) I got this stamp for a challenge that is founded by a friend and I (Karen) Here's the digital one, but I also colored this one!

Isn't she CUTE?! She is called 'Olivia Otter'

I colored her with prisma colored pencils. I made a double easel! The sentiment is on a little easel too! I used a lace frame from spellbinders & added some cute little buttons (bees & dragonflies) from my stash, bling is also from my stash. The butterflies are die cuts from SU and of course I had to add stickles to the water and the flower!

I LOVE this pic of my Grandmother and me! I took it at the nursing home!

The 2 trees were made with my cricut, and boy did I hold my tongue in my left cheek! LOL! (It was hard glueing these layers on the black-out tree) The Dove and the Holly leaves are labels from Sam's. I just bought this lacy die cut from spellbinders, that my journaling is in.

We saw some quite charming LO's last week and this week we would like t0 see how you use "Birds & Bees" on those LO's!

My flourishes are a diecut from SU in my Bigshot. The birds are from Su as well, a stamp with a matching punch, colored with prisma colored pencils, the butterflies are from SU too! The bees are buttons, the rest is from my stash.

I colored her with prisma colored pencils. (help I'm going blind! So much detail!)

Your best friend is your sharpener and a magnifier glass.

I put her in an embossing frame and chalked on the embossing. I purposely colored her bold and just put a hint of color on the rock and water, so she would be the focal point. Used an embossing folder with cogs. Pearls & nailheads are from my stash. I found a little cog I used as a frame on her tail fins, then of course she got stickles! Oh, I forgot, I used a cuttlebug frame embosser and sprayed my lace with glimmer mist.

It's a wonderful day and Lasting Memories has a new challenge for us and it's called 'Country Charm'

This is my Mom and Uncle. Since these are old pix I tore and chalked the pix and some of the DP which are from SU. The lattice punch is from Martha Stuart. The birdies are from Stampin' Up with a matching stamp. I made a gate out of strips of wood paper. My charm is the little frame which has the same pic in it as as the one on the right. I made my sentiment in MDS2. Of course I added stickles!

At 613 Avenue Create, we get to 'Make our own Challenge' I used a Lacy Sunshine image called 'Butterfly Eyes by Heather Valentin' It's a retiring image and it was only $1.00. Colored it with prisma colored pencils.
At Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog it's 'Anything Goes' as long as you color your image by hand.

My lattice die cut is from Stampin' Up I embossed the negative of my lattice die cut and they were both white, along with the lace until I sprayed them with Glimmer Mist.

Butterflies are a punch and matching stamp from Stampin' Up. Sentiment is from SU as is the frame punch. Pearls & Jewels are from my stash. Of Course I have stickles in every color!

I made a masculine birthday card for a friend who loves older corvettes. The image I got on the web using a free digi and the paper was free on the web also, just changed the color to suit me! I colored my vette with prisma colored pencils and then my sentiment on WORD. I added nail heads from my stash and I applied stickles.

When I saw the inspiration from the fab DT at Lacy Sunshine Blog, it put me in the Christmas mood also! The image is called 'Blossom Hippie Chick Christmas' I colored her with prisma colored pencils. I used a lattice & flourish die cut in my bigshot from Stampin' Up. I used an ornament & word window punch from SU also. All the extras are from my stash. Then, of course, I added stickles in several different colors. (Oh, and did I mention, she is a retiring digi, so she was only $1.00! It's always anything goes!))

My birdie is stamped and punched out with a matching punch from SU. I used a doily diecut in my Bigshot from SU. My DSP is from SU. Looks like I like Stampin' Up and your right! The letter stickers are from my stash. Oh, I forgot. my butterflies are a die from SU too! My bling flourish is from my stash and I colored my main flower with prisma colored pencils and last but not least, my friend Elizabeth found stickles in every color for me, bought those and of course I use them regularly!
